Sixties Sam

Great builds, all of them! The camper and trailer are very nice replicas of the real ones. Citroen is weathered very nicely. Good work! Sam

Here's my final build for this year, a Lindberg 37 Ford rod. Nice kit, but I had some fit issues. I had to reglue the windshield frame/dashboard 3 times, and the body didn't want to sit right on the chassis, but I finally got it together. Paint is Rustoleum black primer with 3 coats of gloss clear. Colonial red interior with tan seats. I sprayed the chrome wheels with flat clear to make them look less toy-like. Pretty simple build. I hope you like it! Sam

All great builds! I really like the red 32 coupe! Sam

Me too! The 32 highboy is superb! Great builds all around! Sam

Beautiful builds! Great color scheme. Very good work! Sam

Nice builds! I like the 49 Merc and the Gremlin a lot! Sam

I agree! Good work on all of them! Sam

Great builds! The Ford pickup and trailer are excellent! Sam

Great build! It's hard to tell it from the pics of the real car! Good work! Sam

Very cool! The stove is a nice addition. Weathering is good, not overdone. Nice! Sam

Great build! I'm glad you stuck it out and finished it. Good color scheme! Sam

Very nice build! The color is great! Sam

Wow! Great work on mating up all those different body parts! Stance and finish are just right, too! Excellent! Sam

I found this 40 Ford van on ebay, missing its chassis, wheels, and engine. I had an old 40 chassis and other parts laying around, and an ancient Buick nailhead from an original 40 ford coupe from the 1960's, and used those parts. Wheels are from the Revell 34 Ford coupe snap-tite model. I added oval windows o the sides, VW taillights, and spare tire from who knows what for interest. Paint is Rustoleum gloss orange. Engine is wired. License plate is a nod to Chris Farley's Matt Foley sketches on SNL The model doesn't look bad, I think! Comments welcome! Sam

Very nice build! I like the two-tone color scheme. I had a real 1965 Corvair convertible back in 1970 (my first car). I put the spare in the front trunk for weight to help the car actually be steerable in snow! Sam

Yes! I agree! Excellent work on this! Sam

Those are great dioramas, Ray! The water effects are very well done. I'm guessing G scale on the railroad dio. Excellent work! Sam

Wow! What a save! Great color, and the interior is killer! Good work! Sam

Yes, it is! Excellent work, great color! Sam

Very cool rod! Interesting body style, makes a nice hot rod! Sam

Very nice model! You don't see many of those big GM convertibles. Great color, and well done! Sam

Beautiful model! I like the color scheme a lot. The only addition I would make is adding spark plug wires. Hemi's are fairly easy since the holes for the plug wires are already there in the heads. An aftermarket pre-wired distributor would save some more work. Sorry to nit-pick. It's still a great build! Sam

Very nice, Alexandr! I like the engine hoist a lot! Good work! Sam

What if you want to repaint a model that has been coated with Future? Can you paint over it with decent results, or must it be stripped off with ammonia or some other chemical before painting? Sam

Very nice! You've nailed the brass era racer look! Sam
